I never got to The Sum of All Fears, so that's been moved to this month. I'm also first on the reserve list for The Dark Tower. Other than that I'm still looking for something new.

I'm finishing Eragon - Inheritance Book 1 . It finally caught my attention and enjoying it thoroughly.
Next up:
Memoirs of a Geisha - I've heard so many positive reviews of this book and must read it before it's adapted into a movie
Then Skinny Dip - by Carl Hiaasen

I kinda want to start reading Shogun but on the other hand, I kinda want to read something 'Sci-Fi'-ish also. I'm thinking maybe Berserker by Fred Saberhagen. Hmmm...

John Stewart and the Daily Show have a new book out about America. Audible.com currently has the audiobook version as an exclusive until the book actually gets released and its hilarious. Best $8 I've spent. I'll probably buy the hardcover when it comes out as well since the audiobook is abridged.
Next up for actually reading is the new Terry Brooks novel Tanequil

I'm reading The Analyst by John Katzenbach
It's about an psychoanalyst being taunted by a mystery man calling himself Rumplestiltskin. If the doctor cannot figure out who it is within 14 days, Rumpelstiltskin will destroy someone in the doctor's family. The only other way to save the unnamed family member would be for the doctor to kill himself. It's a gripping, edge of your seat, cat and mouse, chilling noir thriller! According to the cover blurbs.

Just finished up Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy and now reading Adams' Ultimate Hitchhikers Guide.
I'll hopefully have that done by the 21'st, in time for The Dark Tower.

On a Fantasy Novel note Tanequil was actually a pretty decent book. I read the whole novel in a single day. I'm liking this series from Terry Brooks a lot better than the last Shannara series. Though these don't come close to the original trilogy.
Next book up is R is for Ricochet. I'm half way in and really not liking the book. Very slow paced and uninteresting. Someone better get killed soon.

The audiobook is very funny and well produced. John Stewart reads most of it, but other Daily Show people like Stephen Colbert are on there as well. The jokes really hit home when read in Stewart's sarcastic style. I can't wait to read the book though. I listened to the audiobook twice.

Can't wait for the book.
